It looks to me like MSYS, being case-sensitive, is trying to execute the
../INSTALL file instead of the install(1) program. Did you add "." to your
$PATH or is that a MSYS default?

Just removing the "INSTALL" file should work around the problem. In the
..zip package, the file is named "INSTALL.txt". On Windows you should
probably stick to the .zip package. MSYS is not Unix-like by any stretch
of the imagination.
